I've been studying the chat app SimpleX (I have to keep abreast of these things for work) & was so over focused on the tool I did not see the hand that made it.

Thanks to a prompt from @liaizonwakest ⁂, I looked into the political leanings of the developer.

The author indeed appears to be hardline, highly vocal, conspiratorial extreme right, even so far as drumrolling racist party ReformUK.

So it follows I will not be using or further supporting SimpleX Chat
